Chile decrees red alert for volcano activity Copahue

The National Emergency Office of Chile decreed a red alert on Sunday due to increased seismic activity of the volcano Copahue in the south of the country. The volcano emits plumes of smoke and ash since Saturday and harms towns on the Argentine side of the border

A state of emergency was declared after monitoring equipment detected seismic activity continued in the crater and incandescent areas, in what may be an outpouring of lava down the slopes of the volcano.
